Compatibility Condition: v re f = 0 Consider the following system: v (a ) m v a K v b 1 (b ) m 1 K 2 c 2 (c ) m 3 We define the velocity drop between two points in a system as the difference in the velocities (measured with respect to the reference velocity), at two points in the system. For example vab = va − vb . If we move from node to node around a loop, ending at the starting node, summing the velocity drops as we go, for example a loop from (a) → (b)→ (c)→ (a), and sum the velocity drops vab + vbc + vca = (va − vb ) + (vb − vc ) + (vc − va ) = 0 The graph for the above system is 2 1 1 c D.Rowell 2008 copyright � 10–1 3 and around the three loops vK1 + vK2 + vm3 vK1 + vm2 − vm3 = (va − vb ) + (vb − vd ) − (va − vd ) = 0 vK2 + vm3 − vm2 = (vb − vc ) + (vc − vd ) − (vb − vd ) = 0 − vm3 = (va − vb ) + (vb − vc ) + (vc − vd ) − (vc − vd ) = 0 (Loop 1) (Loop 2) (Loop 3) In all cases the sum of the velocity drops is zero. The compatibility condition for mechanical systems states: The sum of velocity drops, from node to node around any closed loop on a system graph is zero. which is analogous to Kirchoff’s voltage law for an electrical system. Example 1 Write compatibility equations, and continuity equations for the following system: v m 1 F B v K 2 m 1 B 2 3 B 1 2 The system graph, with four loops defined, is (a ) F v K 1 m 4 v 1 3 B 1 B B 2 (b ) 3 2 m 1 (c ) 2 2 v = 0 The compatibility equations for the four loops are: vB2 vm2 − vB2 − vB1 + vB3 vm1 − vB2 v K − vB3 =0 =0 =0 =0 (Loop (Loop (Loop (Loop 1) 2) 3) 4) Continuity equations at nodes (a) and (b) are F (t) − FK − FB3 − FB1 − Fm1 = 0 FK + FB3 − FB1 − Fm2 = 0 10–2 (Node(a)) (Node(a)) Notes: 1) Branches associated with mass elements always connect to the inertial reference node because (i) forces are measured with respect to the inertial reference frame, and (ii) velocities are measured with respect to the inertial reference frame. 2) The arrow on a branch associated with a mass element always points away from the node (toward the reference node) because of the sign on the d’Alembert force in the continuity equation n � Fi − Fm = 0. i=1 Analogy with Electrical Systems: We can compare the interconnection rules defined by system graphs for electrical and mechanical systems: Electrical: Currents into a junction (node) sum to zero (KCL). Mechanical: Forces at a point (node) (including the d’Alembert force) sum to zero. Electrical: Voltage drops around a closed loop sum to zero (KVL). Mechanical: Velocity drops around a closed loop in a mechanical system sum to zero. We use these similarities to make the following analogies between variables in the two energy domains: � � voltage ←→ velocity electrical mechanical current ←→ force Note: The opposite analogies can be made, and are in fact used by many authors, however the above grouping is particularly convenient for use in the graph based method we are developing. Mechanical Impedance: With the above analogy we define the mechanical impedance as the ratio of velocity to force � � V (s) V (s) Zmech = compare with Zelect = . F (s) Is We can also define mechanical admittance Ymech = 1 Zmech = F (s) V (s) Elemental Impedances: (a) mass element: FJ (s) = msVJ (s) −→ 10–3 ZJ = VJ (s) 1 = FJ (s) ms (b) spring element: sFK (s) = KVK (s) −→ ZK = FB (s) = BVB (s) −→ ZB = VK (s) s = FK (s) K (c) damper element: VB (s) 1 = FB (s) B The rules for combining series and parallel mechanical impedances are the same as for elec­ trical impedances, leading to the same methods for generating transfer functions. Example 2 Use impedance methods to find the transfer function H(s) = V (s) F (s) for v v F m m K F m B 1 1 m s B s K v = 0 v = 0 The impedance of the three passive elements is 1 1 1 1 K ms2 + Bs + K = + + = ms + +B = Zeq ZJ ZK ZB s s The transfer function is H(s) = V (s) s = Zeq = 2 F (s) ms + Bs + K Example 3 Find the transfer function relating the velocity of the mass m2 to the input force F (t) in the system: 10–4 v m F B 1 v K 2 m 1 B 3 2 B 1 2 The system graph on the left may be simplified: (a ) F v s K 1 m B 1 1 s B v 1 2 3 1 B 1 1 2 m (a ) (b ) v Z Z 1 2 F s v = 0 (c ) 1 v 1 3 Z (c ) 2 (b ) 2 v = 0 where s s 1 � = B3 s + K K B3 1 1 1 = Z2 = � m2 s + B2 sm2 B2 1 1 1 Z3 = � = sm1 B1 m1 s + B1 Z1 = We need to compute the velocity at node (a) V1 (s) = F (s)Zeq = F (s) (Z3 �(Z1 + Z2 )) = Z3 (Z1 + Z2 ) F (s) Z1 + Z 2 + Z 3 The output velocity V2 (s) can be found using the “velocity divider” V2 (s) = H(s) = Z2 Z2 Z3 V1 (s) = F (s) Z1 + Z 2 Z1 + Z 2 + Z 3 V2 (s) Z 2 Z3 B3 s + K = = F (s) Z1 + Z2 + Z3 a3 s3 + a2 s2 + a1 s + a0 where symbolic software was used to find a3 a2 a1 a0 = = = = m1 m2 m1 (B2 + B3 ) + m2 (B1 + B3 ) K(m1 + m2 ) + B1 B2 + B1 B3 + B2 B3 K(B1 + B2 ) 10–5 Example 4 Repeat Example 4 using node equations to find H(s).

Let Y1 = 1/Z1 , Y2 = 1/Z2 , and Y3 = 1/Z3 . Substitute for the admittance relationships (F = Y v) on each branch: Y1 (va − 0) + Y2 (va − vb ) = F Y2 (va − vb ) − Y3 (Vb − 0) = 0 at node (a) at node (b), which are a pair of simultaneous linear equations in va and vb : � �� � � � Y1 + Y2 va F −Y2 = Y2 −(Y2 + Y3 ) vb 0 10–6 and may be solved using Cramer’s rule: � � � Y1 + Y 2 F � � � � Y2 0 � vb (s) = vm1 (s) = �� −Y2 � Y1 + Y 2 � Y2 −(Y2 + Y3 ) Z1 Z3 = F (s) Z1 + Z 2 + Z 3 Y2 F (s) �= � Y1 Y2 + Y 2 Y3 + Y 3 Y1 � � by dividing numerator and denominator by Y1 Y2 Y3 . Then H(s) = xm1 (s) 1 vm1 (s) 1 Z1 Z3 = = , F (s) s F (s) s Z1 + Z2 + Z3 which is the same result found using ad-hoc impedance reduction methods in Example 4. 10–7
